Careers

Central California Alliance for Health (the Alliance) is an award-winning regional Medi-Cal managed care plan that provides health insurance for low-income children, adults, seniors and people with disabilities in Santa Cruz, Monterey and Merced counties. We currently serve more than 360,000 members.

In 1996, the Alliance was established to improve access to quality health care for lower income residents who often lacked a primary care “medical home” and had to rely on the emergency room for basic needs. We connect members to the primary and specialty care they need.

Our Culture

We are a group of more than 500 dedicated employees who feel that our work is bigger than ourselves. At the Alliance, we value every employee and empower them to do their best work.

Guided by our values of Improvement, Integrity, Collaboration and Equity, we strive to fulfill our vision of “Healthy people. Healthy communities.” This focus includes finding innovative solutions that lead to better health outcomes.

Career Growth and Advancement

We support career development through promotional opportunities in a growing, financially stable organization. Get on-the-job-training and gain experience in an exemplary managed care model. To further support your career journey, we offer full access to LinkedIn Learning and annual tuition reimbursement.

Support for Your Health and Wellness

We believe in supporting the whole person and offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental and vision coverage for you and your dependents. In addition to 11 paid holidays per year, we provide ample paid time off. We recognize the importance of work-life balance, so we offer flexible scheduling and extra support when you need it most. To promote health and wellness, we provide reimbursements for gyms and online fitness classes. Your financial future is important to us. The Alliance contributes 10% of your salary to a defined contribution 401(A) plan after one year of employment. We also provide you with an opportunity to save voluntarily via our 457 retirement savings plan.

COVID-19 Information

With offices in three different counties in California, our leadership team is committed to following guidance from local public health officials and the state to ensure the health and safety for not only the members we serve as a health plan, but also for our employees.

All staff are working from home fulltime, except for specific business needs that require direct interaction or onsite attention. Employees will return to the office only when it’s safe and appropriate to do so. Until we return, we’re supporting our employees through additional flexibility in scheduling while we balance distance learning, caretaking and life during the pandemic.

Our commitment to potential employees: We are actively recruiting for the positions listed on our careers site and have modified our processes to support video interviews and remote onboarding of newly hired Alliance employees.

Our continued support of Alliance staff: Connection remains an important focus as we’ve adapted to a remote environment. We stay connected through virtual teambuilding events and celebrations, town hall meetings, lunch and learns with leadership, an employee newsletter, instant messaging tools, a staff Facebook page and internal community board.
